This Week With We The People! 8/6 - 8/14

Wow folks what a week we have had. It is truly exciting to meet people and feel the enthusiasm for the We The People project.

We started just over a week ago on August 6&7 at Blue Trails Range in Wallingford. We were there for two days sharing a booth with another non-political/ non-partisan group Oath Keepers. We would like to thank Oath Keepers for inviting us to join them. The turn out was excellent and the crowd was extremely receptive to our message. We handed out tons of cards and literature as well. The sound of the free exercise of Second Amendment rights in the background was music to our ears!!

We next joined the Spirits Of '76 group at Bogey's Pub in Torrington on August 10th. We would like to thank Keith Farrell, the Founder and President of the group, for providing a forum for our presentation and we would also like to thank all who attended. Those in attendance were well informed and had great questions and comments for us and we thank them for their participation. The Spirits Of '76 is a relatively new group of individuals based in Torrington who's objective is to enhance their community through voluntary service and to foster an environment of hands-on leadership. They are working on a food drive for their local soup kitchen as one of their first initiatives. If you are in the Torrington area and would like to know more or get involved with them check them out on Facebook at www.facebook.com/spiritsof76torrington or just type in Spirits Of '76 in the search bar on your Facebook page. Their mission is laudable and we wish them much success in this worthwhile endeavor.

Next on Friday August 12 we were at the private home of Nancy Ferguson speaking to a group of invited guests. As we are finding all over this State the people were very enthusiastic and very well informed about the current constitutional issues of the day. The questions and conversation during and after the event were inspiring and motivating. We would like to thank Nancy not only for the invitation to give our presentation, but also for the delicious food!!! The way to a constitutionalist's heart is definitely through his stomach......at least this constitutionalist!! Thanks Nancy!!!

And finally today Sunday August 14th we were in Essex for a return trip to George Fox's residence where we gave our presentation to a group of well informed and very motivated people. We would like to thank the attendees for their pledges of support and assistance in getting this group future audiences in various other forums. We look forward to working with them to get the word out. Thank you once again to George Fox who opened his home to us and our guests and for providing food for us all. His hospitality, generosity and willingness to help are inspiring!!

So it has been a busy week, but the support and positive reactions to our message is inspiring us to push on even harder than before. We have many new members and many more pledges of support and potential for additional opportunities to give presentations, some of which could prove to be for very large groups!! It was also inspiring to see young people at our presentations, it is a special honor to speak with the youth and teach them about our Constitution. It is hard work, but it is rewarding and inspiring!!

If you can pull a group of 8 to 10 people together (or more) and would like us to speak with them and give our presentation contact us at  wethepeopleofconnecticut@gmail.com , we will go anywhere in the State of Connecticut!! We will speak to any group, we are non-political and non-partisan, we are constitutional!!

I look forward to seeing you at the next presentation!!!

Thanks to all who attended this week!! It was a blast!!
